Smoky Mountain Bear Cubs!

Hello All,
I was on vacation to the Smokey Mountains last week! Saw
many great sights! The biggest thrill was coming across
these three bear cubs!!!!!

I'd say you were lucky. I'd not have gotten that close to her cubs.

Me neither.

They're so cute! How fortunate you were to get this shot.

Thanks All!!!!
Thankfully, Mom wasn't around........At least, I didn't see her!!!!
Here's a close up of the two lower cubs. While the upper cub seemed
restless, these two were OUT!!!!!

How lucky to come across them like that. I love the smokey mountains. Only once did I see a bear and it was gone just as fast as I saw it.
Good shot

I was lucky for sure! Here's one more pic showing the upper cub.
At first restless, while his sibblings were fast asleep, he finally
found a spot that was JUST RIGHT!!!!!! How they manage to keep
from falling off those narrow limbs while fast asleep is beyond me!!!!

Wow...and tripplets too! That's rare. I agree though, after a shot of the three and maybe one other, my eyes would have down and not up - looking for momma bear as I backed the heck out of there! Nice capture!
